These soits were begun about a year ago and it was suspected at the time tbat there was some ulterior mo- sive concealed in the action. There was a good deal of opposition to ROOSEVELT in she little State of Delaware, where the Powder trust had its home and babitation, and the politicians and newspapers con- srolled by the DUPONT were talking more or less volubly against the nomination of Tarr. The institution of criminal prooeed- ing against the truss had the effect of curb- ing thie “pernicions’’ enthusiasm, but it was found impossible to stop the proceed- ings, though they have been greatly de- layed. The reason of this difficulty is a matter of almost local interest. At the time that President ROOSEVELT wanted to frighten the DuPoxTs into acquiescence in his plans, JaMis SCARLET, of Danville, Pa., had recently emerged from the first trial of the capitol grafters with a well earoed rep utation of being a marvelously successful investigator. Probably as part of the scheme to scare the DUPONTS Mr. SCARLET was employed by the government to prose- oute the powder trust. He developed such a perfect cbain of evidence that con- viction became inevitable and fretted nnder ‘the restraint which wss necessary to ne- ‘sure delay. Bat he wounldn’t consent to abandon the suits under any circumstances and BONAPARTE was afraid to order a stoppage. Since the retirement of Mr. BONAPARTE, however, the office of Attorney General is occupied by a man of greater courage, if less morality, aud Mr. WICKERSHAM bas ordered the discontinuance of the prooeed- ings against the DUPoNTs. He has not given any reason for his course, and so far a8 our information goes, Mr. SCARLET has | not said a word io relation to the matter. But it may easily be imagined that be is more or less diesaticfied with the turn of aflairs. The State machine tried to induce him to let up on the capitol graft prosecu- tions and a good many well-informed men believe that he conld have been Governor to-day if he hal yielded. But he was obdurate. Ia the lager field he has less power, however. | i ADDITIONAL LOCALS. —— Those farmers who sold sheir wheat dor one dollar a bushel very likely now feel like kicking themselves, with the price at $1.20, and indications of a still further rise ; especially with Patten of Chicage, predicting $1.40 a bushel for it by the last of May. Whether it isa real shortage in orops or simply a corner in the market plaoned by Armour, of Chicago, remains to be seen. .e ———Qune of the best programs of moving pictures ever exhibited in Bellefonte was shown at the Scenio on Monday evening when two of the pictures were the inaugu- zation of Presidents Taft avd the collision between the ill-fated Republio and Florida. Such a good program, however, is only to be expected, as the manager, T. Clayton ‘Brown, always gives his patrous more for ~their money than one can get most aoy- where eise. Tuat bis efforts are appreciated by the people of Bellefonte was shown by the crowd which thronged the Scenio all of Monday evening, and the attendance every evening, for that matter. It iv also »afe to say that the programe tonight and tomorrow night will be just as good as those of lormer nights. ——The Bellelone Academy baseball team opened the season last Saturday by playing a game with an independent team from State College, heing defeated by the score of 6 to 0), The score, however, does not exactly represent the comparative strength of the two teams.

Other addresses were made by W. D. Zerby Esq., of Bellefonte, Mr. H. N. Hoy, Mr. 8. H. Hoy and Mr, J. P. Isbler. To say that this was a gala day in the educational history of Benner township would be putting it in a mild way. Thecrowd present and the interest manifested was evidence that all were sas- isfied with the work being done by the High sohool. Three years ago this school was organiz- ed under romewbat adverse circumstances but today, after having witnessed the first fruits of the venture, no one wonld be wil- ling to do away with is. Much of the sno- cess is das to the board of directors, and not a little to the efforts of she principal.
